BOTTLE CITY OF KANDOR PROP

Kandor

fabled "Bottle City" -- including alien-looking buildings and
airborne vehicles -- is mounted on a base inscribed with a
Superman "S"-shield and "The Bottle City of Kandor"
in stylized
typography. Measuring 9.5" tall x 8" wide (including base), the city
buildings light up at the touch of a switch and remain lit on a timer
(uses 3 AA batteries, which are not included). A non-removable
air hose goes from the top of the jar to the bottom.

SUPERBOY'S LEGION

A two-issue mini-series by Alan Davis and Mark Farmer

A rocketship blasts away from an
exploding planet just in time! Inside the
ship, the last survivor of an entire
civilization sleeps! His destination: 20th
Century Earth - only the Kryptonian ship veers off-course,
enduring a thousand-year journey into the 30th century,
where it ends up being discovered by billionaire
industrialist R.J. Brande!

The story of the Last Son of Krypton takes an all-new, yet
somehow familiar, path. Brande's now adopted son, Kal,
grows up a teenager with powers and abilities
far beyond those of mortal men!
Kal is regarded by many as a childish boy who dreams
about the super-heroes who protected Earth a millennium
ago. But certain events prompt young Kal to turn those
dreams into reality, as he decides to find other unique teens
like himself and form a Legion of Super-Heroes!

SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL #112

There's been a breakout at Stryker's Island. This looks like a job for...Superdog!

SUPERBOY'S LEGION #2

When the Legion suffers defeat at the hands of the Fatal Five, a
devastated Superboy may well give up on the dream that inspired him to form his
own Legion of Super-Heroes. Even worse, the villains' abduction of Brainiac 5 leads
to their invasion of the planet Colu, whose super-intelligent beings can provide
untold power to the Fatal Five's leader, a man who's already been secretly
influencing the 30th-century universe for over a thousand years.

Written by Mark Farmer, art and cover by Alan Davis and Farmer.
